THE EARLIEST TRUE LIMA. 
This variety was developed by a market gar- 
dener who selected the largest green beans from 
the thinnest and most easily opened pods. 
Practical value to the market gardener has 
been the object aimed at in the development of 
this grand bean, and we believe it to be the very 
best sort for their use.

The vine is very productive and exceptionally 
hardy and vigorous. It produces pods very early 
and the beans are of fine quality. 
The green shelled beans are of immense size but 
so tender and succulent that they shrink in drying 
to about the size of the Large White Lima. 
The Best Lima Bean Ever Offered. 
In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and 
quality of the green beans, this new variety is far 
in advance of all other sorts, and must come to 
be recognized as the best of all for either the gar- 
den or market. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 25cts.: Qt. 35cts,; 
4 Qts. $1.25; Bushel $7.00. 
If by mail or express prepaid, add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges, 
DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA.—vines vigorous and pro- 
ductive, with pointed leaves, and white blossoms in racemes; 
pods short, broad, straight; beans medium size, broad and 
much thicker than the Large Lima. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 20cts.; 
Qt. 30cts.; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $6.00. 
CHALLENGER LIMA.—similar to, but a decided improve- 
ment on Dreer’s Improved. The vines are more prolific and 
the pods are larger, though of the same shape. Dry beans 
larger and of the best quality. We cannot say too much in 
favor of thisbean. It isearly and continues bearing its closely 
crowded clusters of pods until cut off by frost. One of the most 
popular varieties with the New York market gardeners. Pkt. 
10cts.; Pt. 20cts.; Qt. 30cts.; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $6.00. 
KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA.—ciaimed to be larger, 
stronger growing, more productive, and with larger pods and 
beans than the Large White Lima. On account of its large 
pods it is a favorite with market gardenersin many places. It 
will come into bearing sooner, and will make larger pods if not 
more than two vines are left to grow ona pole. Pkt. 10cts.; 
Pt. 20cts.; Qt. 30cts.; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bushel $6.00.
